I take it for mood disorders. I had previously been taking it with Lexapro but stopped both meds (bad I know.) I went back to the Dr. Monday and talked to him. He asked me to start back on Depakote for a few days and then start Exxeflor (sp?) for depression and anxiety. Since I have been on ONLY Depakote I have had hallucinations of people in my house. Its only for a split second. Has this happened to anyone else? I am calling my Doc 1st thing in the morning.

after my wife died, I've had trouble keeping my house clean - and yesterday my dog died of pneumonia that she got suddenly - and I'm pretty scared that something is in the air in my house that caused it from my house being messy. Since she died, I'm really afraid to spend time in my house since I think the air could be bad and I don't want to get a respritory problem. how would I know if the air was ok or not?

am I over reacting? she was almost 15 which is old, but she was exceptionally healthy - she was walkikng 45 minutes a day up until a few days before she died. She got pneumonia suddenly
I don't understand and that's why I'm scared.

thanks

Is eating food (chicken in my case) that has been cooked in aluminum foil safe? I hear that the foil could give off metal residue that could go to my brain and hasten the onset of dementia (not sure if I am predisposed to this ailment but you never know).

Are there any references out there that point to either safety or dangers of using this foil?

I have social anxiety that is really disrupting everything (school, basic everyday situations,etc.) in my life, and I think I should start seeing a psychologist. I'm starting college soon, which I will be dreading the rest of my education if this problem doesn't get fixed. I'm too afraid to ask my parents because they will think I am crazy or somthing. What are your suggestions? thanks for answers :)

For the past couple of weeks, I've been looking for ways to increase my reading speed. I bought one for $16, and one for $19, but neither worked. I avoided the Evelyn Wood ones because those usually cost around $300.

Just recently, I "Stumbled Upon" this website (using the StumbleUpon toolbar): http://www.speedreadingisreal.com/

The website is hilariously cheesy sometimes, and uses every marketing tactic you've already seen. But it has a money-back guarantee, so I went ahead and bought it.

Well I tried it, and practiced the thing for a while, and found that it actually works.

Now here's the question: why is this the only speed reading product that doesn't have testimonials all over the website? I couldn't find a single one.

It really doesn't add up. Can someone please explain?

I have a couple of large fibroids that are really giving me a lot of trouble. I can get a partial hysterectomy but would rather not. A holistic doctor suggested that I use bioidentical progesterone cream to back down my estrogen levels which may help the tumors shrink plus use some liver detox pills. Has anyone had success in this area. I'm a little afraid of the cream. Used it two days in a row now and feel as though I'm experiencing some weird side effects.

Do you think it is from the sun or something else?
I was in Florida Sunday through Tuesday and now on Thursday I have these spots all over. Do you think it is from the sun or something else. We were in the ocean also if that has anything to do with it. I got a lot of sun, but I am not really burnt.
What can I do for it?
Help!!!

My grandmother went into the hospital a couple weeks ago with confusion and incoherent behavior, they found her electrolites were low, and had to raise them slowly.

She came back into her right mind, and during the tests they did in that time they found she had cancer in her liver and lungs.

Tonight she went back into the hospital (after being home 2 days) far more confused and much more violently incoherent than before. I am assuming this is because her electrolites must be low again. (I dont know why or how they could drop so fast). The doctors have told us she has stage 4 cancer, and basucally to just keep her comfortable until she passes.

Theyre doing more tests to find out how long that will be, but does anyone have any idea? The thought of her wasting away for months is horrid, even weeks in this state is more than i can handle.

People should just lay down and die. This wasting away crap is bullshit.

I have an older aunt who also has this but i don't have a number or know where she lives. now i am 20, have no medical insurance and no money to go to the doctor. I have been feeling really bad and have been noticing things happening to me and i don't know if its part of the disease or not. I just want to talk to someone who has been through this and ask them some questions. So if any one has scleroderma and can spare some time to answer my questions i would be really great full. my email is quileter@gmail.com. if anyone can answer my questions that would be great. thanks all
